SENSATIONAL SEQUEL
governor and church. RECENT TROUBLE IN MALTA. I Australian and N.Z. Press Association.) lUniten l’re>-» Association— By Cable Copyright.) Malta, February 28. A sensational result of Sir Gerald Strickland’s alleged interference in diciplinary matters with the Franciscan Monastery was that Father Carta, the Italian Superior of the Franciscans, ordered Padre Micaller, one of Sir Gerald Strickland’s prominent partisans, to. leave Malta, upon which Padre Micallef appealed to Sir Gerald Strickland, who countermanded the order on the ground that an Italian subject had no right to deport a British Maltese. When Father Carta reported the incident to the Vatican the latter excommunicated Padre Micallef, and the Archbishop of Malta also issued a pastoral stating that disobedience of the Church’s laws was punished, by sacred canons with excommunication. This is regarded as an indirect reference t 0 Sir Gerald Strickland, and Maltese Catholics ask if Sir Gerald Strickland automatically excommunicated himself. The Italian Press was recently violently attacking Sir Gerald Strickland, declaring that he was a Mason and was persecuting Italian Maltese.
Sir Gerald Strickland is Governor of Malta.
